Join us for networking drinks and a curators tour of artisan Unleashed
artisan is thrilled to present the 2024 edition of our long-standing Unleashed exhibition, shining a spotlight on the next generation of Queensland's most promising craft and design talent. For over two decades, this exhibition has launched the careers of many of the state's talented emerging artists and designers. Program Direct, Simone Linssen will take us on a private tour through the exhibition.
For 2024, Unleashed has brought together a curated selection of outstanding early-career practitioners nominated by arts leaders from every corner of Queensland. A panel of esteemed curators, educators, and artists - including Anna Varendorff, Delvene Cockatoo-Collins, Dr Elizabeth Shaw, Dr Carol McGregor, Ian Were and Trish Szonert - has worked with Artisan's team to identify a diverse cohort reflecting the incredible talents from across Queensland.
This state-wide survey celebrates the future of Queensland craft and design, exploring how today's innovators are converging traditional techniques with cutting-edge concepts. From ceramics and furniture design, jewellery and more, experience the fresh perspectives and bold visions that make this exhibition a must-see biennial event.
This is a chance to discover the Queensland’s pioneers poised to shape Queensland's creative landscape for years to come. Join us at the opening event on June 21 as we unveil and celebrate UNLEASHED 2024!
